Between 2020. First president ial debate. Live from moscow thanks for joining us on r. T. International. Welcome to the program. The u. N. Security council is calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities between armenia and azerbaijan fighting between the 2 sides into its 4th day now the belligerents once again vying for control of the long disputed border region. Crew is on the ground there and filmed at this exclusive video that shows the wreckage of a drone shot down by the Armenian Army is the only media outlet that armenia has permitted to enter their conflict zone hugos not off sends this report filmed with a vision camera right now were between the positions of the Armenian Army which is over there and the as they are by joining forces which are stationed right over this hill and here is the debris of a massive unmanned drone that was shot down by the Armenian Air Defense this is the main piece but not the only one in fact theres still a distinctive stench of burning up in the air which means it was shot down literally hours before we arrived here in fact where the 1st International News crew allowed here by the Armenian Forces that here is school and everybody has to walk over a huge pieces of metal like this and well this marks yet another day of deadly clashes between armenia and the disputed region of nagornokarabakh and as there by john not by turkey in fact a meanie accused by john of attacking its soil today which means that probably conflict spilled over the borders of this disputed region but were being told that we have to hurry we have to rush it is not safe here so we have to wrap up i will be bringing you more of this as we go more of this as a stay here im done of reporting from the disputed region of nagornokarabakh r. T. Meanwhile is about johnny media have published a video allegedly of a drone attacking army and soldiers both nations are reporting a growing number of civilian and military casualties arties morag as the earth has more on the situation. Well the violence students stop with the onset of the night now what were hearing is that about johnny forces claim that armenians shelled civilian settlements over a nice that they had been damage to civilian infrastructure civilian casualties and of are of people wounded we also have heard as there by john cain to have destroyed an s 300 and the air Defense Missile complex that was stationed apparently they say near the front lines down paranoid or of this coming just hours of the u. N. Security council came out and condemned in strong words the violence they called it both sides did d. C. S. To deescalate and didnt negotiate with each other to Start Talking to each other unfortunately is there by john and. Also given a voice sharing the discussion the only thing that they agreed on is that they completely disagree with each other on forces who are media subjected to concessions of the armed forces. Along the front line and it just simple too late in my country to use an intensifying in order to aggression the armed forces so forth as much on have under teet taken confirmations in the exercise of the right of selfdefense the businesses of majority statement this to conceal its responsibility who are the preplanned march q military aggression agrees the people not going to the aggression was will. And any reference going to rejoin you sign to an alleged counterattack is utterly deceptive while there has been an International Outcry calling for both sides to pull back for a cease fire unconditional cease fire to be put in place and nations have picked sides one of them of course is turkey which is backed as it by john fervently weve heard. Statements such as i said by john in turkey are one People Living in 2 different states weve also heard a senior turkish official come out and say that any meaning an attack on and they said about jordan settlement outside the conflict zone should be and would be construed as an attack on turkish soil perhaps an invitation to get involved militarily we stand by. On the field and on the table now we want to solve this problem completely turkeys role in all of this has been a point of contention much debate and argument especially between armenia and azerbaijan we will of course heard yesterday that armenia cames turkish f. 16 fighter of shooting down one of its jets accusing turkish advisors of being in the field and directing is that about joining forces all of this i said about jollity self has denied. That we have information that turkey is seeking a reason for a wider involvement in this conflict some look at have 16 jets have been taking part in the fighting its easy to prove that it is just another provocation in the through turkish water instructors and high ranking personnel are currently at command posts in azerbaijan turkey is also recruiting mercenaries in syria and taking them to azerbaijan to fight in a war against nagornokarabakh and armenia. Turkey is giving its moral support and we are grateful to the turkish government and turkish people for solidarity in standing by resigning there is no other role turkeys taking the conflict the passions here are overwhelming and the fear is that things will spiral even further out of control than they already are the race is on according to many leaders in a bid to end this conflict and this conflict before it can get even worse. One of several border disputes remaining from the collapse of the soviet Union Republics receded from missouri by john over 30 years ago and it led itself independent over its not widely recognized as an independent state with more on the back story here is. A region nestled in the Caucasus Mountains caught between armenia and azerbaijan is now in the global spotlight how did new corner karabakh to get to this trouble point the disputed territory has a rich history having lived under many rulers and kingdoms before seeing out the final days of the russian empire 917. 00 came the empire collapsed 918. 00 came as a beach on an armenia became independent historically armenian nagornokarabakh were clear but azerbaijan tried again and again to take back control armenia and azerbaijan independence was short lived in 1920 they were incorporated into the soviet union. In a corner carpark wanted a referendum to join all media but Joseph Stalin had other plans based on the need for National Peace between muslims and armenians and the economic ties of the upper and lower karabakh its permanent ties with as regime leave nagornokarabakh within the as was john soviet socialist republic for more than 6 decades armenia tried to repeal the decision with no success then in the late eightys the people of nagornokarabakh started their own campaign to unite with armenia after a vote they declared their allegiance to in 1988 which was rejected by both moscow and. Millions of protested in both countries buildings were torched businesses were attacked military conflict started in the disputed. Area but nothing changed moscow had made its decision 3 years later in 1901 the u. S. S. R. Collapsed but still nothing changed. Then started the bloodiest clash the regions ever seen in total an estimated 30000. 00 were killed and 1000000. 00 were displaced finally in 1994 a fraud charge Russian Troops came into effect. With. The. Move since then military clashes have periodic lee flared up and subsided International Players regularly mediate but with armenia now considering recognizing nagornokarabakh to dependence and as a page on unwilling to even discuss it finding Common Ground is increasingly difficult historically when it comes to religion and ethnicity when 2 sides are so convinced of the right notice when generations have been involved in the fight long lasting peace is allusive no doubt many are hoping nagornokarabakh proves to be the exception. Trumpets of boredom exchange insults and interrupting each other in the 1st president ial Election Debate before his vote it was a touchy for a spin described as messy and chaotic. Listen respectfully to each others opinions im not here to call out his lies Everybody Knows hes a liar never use the word smart with me ever use that word give me a because you know what it is nothing smart about you joe what are you sure i dont miss an excuse the one who saw your number to know hes putins puppy i get my time back fewer interruptions im appealing to you sir to do that will that him too well frankly youve been doing more interrupting their cigarette but he does plenty well less than what hes just shush for a minute why do you do it over one in the last 25 years not because im going to do it because you are president things up youre a senator and the worst were as high as america has ever had. To get any word with this clown directly then you know now that were done were done sir joining me now in this shooter dont call to for the latest on this you whats this about yourself this one didnt you how did it go while then the American People had big hopes for this debate after all its happening on the backdrop of a Global Pandemic and a serious economic crisis but based on how both biden and trump conducted themselves i would say most people probably thought they were watching some sort of circus. You should get out of your bunker and get out of the sand trap and get in your golf course and fund what needs to be done now to save lives he wants to shut down this country and i want to keep it open. I had closed the greatest economy in the history of our country we handed him a booming economy he blew it was it a loon. He made a crime bill 1904 where you call the super predators africanamericans the super predators. And the moderator was barely able to hold this discourse together to stop it from completely devolving into insults and not surprisingly we saw the Mainstream Media pretty quickly send out already headlines blaming trump entirely for derailing the debate but as we just saw in that clip it takes 2 to tango and biden didnt exactly live up to his promise to bring dignity to politics we can do all that we need to do to make grown to restore we need to restore the integrity of the presidency of the office of. Humans to the American Public had high hopes for this debate whats been the reaction so far while during the debate the moderator was able to get in a lot of questions that the American People really want answers to how the next administration is going to handle Coronavirus ReliefRacism Police brutality of the social unrest but the most important thing of all is how biden or trump actually respond to these questions and voters didnt seem to think that they did a very good job honestly is a very painful response i dont think either them one this is terrible all around this is very upsetting to watch that this is the best representation for our country right now i dont think i can say that even if you were one i think that it was a twister it was a wild ride it went right it went left there was a lot going on theres a lot of interruption it was crazy. Knew that i dont think either one of them respected the other. And the economy seems to agree with those voters as well because right after the close of this chaotic debate we saw u. S. Stock futures take a plunge and while both political camps have already started making political names as if theyre their guy won the debate everyday voters are really kind of taking a sort of id rather laugh than cry approach. All right all looking forward to the next round of the based on quarter there with the latest thanks for that don. Well still to come the south france and germany raise the specter of anti russia sanctions over the novelli case that story and more in just a few moments time. Join me every thursday on the alec simon show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see you there. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation community. Are you going the right way or are you being led. By. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the debt. Or a made in the shallowness. Welcome back im going to michael says he will meet the belorussian Opposition Leader svetlana to kind of selfimposed exile in lithuania having fled the country after the disputed president ial election in august the german chancellor appears to share her view that this was richt and the Vice President we do not recognize the legitimacy of this presidency him to engage in dialogue with his people without interference from east or west would come down to whats going on there on a daily basis specifically the derailment of a democratic process and the violence perpetrated against their own position. German chancellor Angela Merkel has added her voice to calls from french president emmanuel back on for Alexander Lukashenko to step down as president of belarus micron had met with svetlana ticking off the woman who ran against in august disputed election just earlier this week that meeting took place between the french president and mistaken following that meeting that crown said that he was willing to act as a mediator to get to the bottom of the impasse that followed that vote however there has been some questions over the fitness of mr micron to act as a mediator in a dispute hes already very publicly taken aside in or speaking or wednesday the german chancellor Angela Merkel said that she will also be holding her own meeting with svetlana ticking off in a meeting of the need. I will meet with their positions to one of square one we see brief women taking to the streets calling for corruption free life i cannot but it mire that. With 2 of the keep power brokers in france and germany either having met with or agreeing to meet with svetlana ticket its hard to see how that sits alongside previous statements by Emmanuel Marco on and Angela Merkel saying that there should be no outside interference in the future of dollars. From class for us is absolutely clear belarus must find its way by itself and there must be no involvement from abroad the people of belarus know what they want and it was good for them and we want the dialogue to take place among belorussians themselves with the European Union is ready to take part if thats what belorussians want russia should also be included as part of that dialogue. Moscow is unequivocal on this and says that these meetings are direct outside interference on the future of belarus Vladimir PutinsSpokes Person to me to the press corp saying that there was tremendous external pressure on minsk and on Alexander Lukashenko right now we consider these decisions to be an arts with International Law the clearly field to facilitate dialogue and in effect a man to meddling in internal affairs expect more. Talk coming this week on thursday and friday there is a special e. U. Council summit taking place during that summit we can expect the future of sanctions on belarus and all Alexander Lukashenko and those close to him to be discussed we bring you all the latest on that as it happens. With the threat of sanctions is being dangled over russia yet again france and germany are warning moscow of consequences if it doesnt do more to shed light on the alleged poisoning of russian opposition figure alexei in a valley. Our call on russia to do more to investigate this case the case such as this must have consequences the therefore reserves the right to impose sanctions on. The. Pic or not there was very clearly an assault and an assassination attempt that was made on russian soil against a russian opponent with a chemical agent on the business related in russia. And therefore it is on russia to give indispensable clarification that we will have to draw from the information that russia provides the consequences all its refusal to provide tariff occasion. Of a spot the German Foreign minister tough words the chancellor Angela Merkel has just said shell wait and see what the chemical weapons watchdog concludes before deciding how to proceed meanwhile russian prosecutors have now said a 3rd request of berlin seeking the evidence they need to formally open a case that previous requests were ignored. We consider it an attempt to politicize the matter everything that is going on indicates that it is not about seeking the truth our prosecutors have said a 3rd request to germany but there has only been one of response and that was from the media that the request had been received. It was transported to berlin after falling ill on a domestic flight in siberia he was recently discharged from hospital political analyst bill but dr rose says the west is deliberately piling the pressure on moscow. I think this is a talking point. That i think we have to look at must a statement in which they are not growing in the context of what i see is it wrong. On russia going on the military from an informational political spent one of the economic standpoint to bring in the lords into question the west is now out of. Pressure on russia and the only case is only one in 7 it is a leader against mr working as they in their view it wants to maintain it that way because if there were to be a proper investigation the absurdity of the claims made against russian. Oil or the voice an impetus for war will be completely. While face mask and gloves are designed to stop the spread of the coronavirus it seems they could be doing the opposite when thrown away thats the warning at least from local authorities in england which claim careless the
